Questions about why a thread was anchored

Hey,
I don't start threads very often, but
my thread was recently anchored and I'm not sure why.
It was admittedly a bit of a troll thread, but it seemed to be exceedingly well received by fans of all teams, including LSU.
Just curious as to why it was so quickly given an anchor when there are so many more angry and vitriolic threads that continue on.
Thanks for any info!
ETA: As far as I can see I have not violated any of these five things
The subject is "The five stages of L5U Grief" while it is a cheap shot using the L5U moniker, it's still fresh and fitting of the topic
As stated above, the title is descriptive of what follows in the body of the post
See above, nothing is in all caps
No one has posted anything similar to the premise of my thread that I have found, and the responses further indicate that it was a novel idea.
The threads have generally stayed on topic apart from the last few that have concerned its unjustifiable anchoring.
Point 5 is the only one I think I could get a knock against the post
However, it's only Monday after the biggest game of the season, and I feel that conversation of the past week's game should be fair game until Thursday or Friday.

1. The subject of the thread is too short and not descriptive enough. We often see users just put one word or sometimes two words. These are immediately anchored. Again, be descriptive.
The subject is "The five stages of L5U Grief" while it is a cheap shot using the L5U moniker, it's still fresh and fitting of the topic

2. The subject of the thread is cut off. This is also referred to as "Cliffhanger Subjects".
As stated above, the title is descriptive of what follows in the body of the post
quote:
3. THE SUBJECT OR POST IS IN ALL CAPS. These are immediately anchored or deleted All caps are hard to read and comes across as shouting.

4. There is already a thread on the info that you are posting. This is self-explanatory. We usually keep the thread with the best subject, and anchor/delete the repeat threads.
No one has posted anything similar to the premise of my thread that I have found, and the responses further indicate that it was a novel idea.

6. A thread has gone off topic. If the replies inside a thread have nothing to do with the main idea in the subject, we often anchor.
The threads have generally stayed on topic apart from the last few that have concerned its unjustifiable anchoring.
Point 5 is the only one I think I could get a knock against the post

5. The topic has been beaten to death. Sometimes, topics have run their course and need to just fade away.
However, it's only Monday after the biggest game of the season, and I feel that conversation of the past week's game should be fair game until Thursday or Friday.

that's fricked up
all fan bases were enjoying it, so it should be anchored. makes sense
admins are a joke at times

I feel as though my points are further validated, as the admins are currently allowing a thread titled
To go on for multiple pages unencumbered in spite of violating rule #2 and being clearly offensive in nature.

Agreed. I rarely complain about moderation around here, but I think this is a case of overmoderation.

fricking lsu admins man. frick em right in the pussy.
A thread was started August of 2013 asking if AJ McCarron would start for your team. I started a response thread asking if Zach Mettenberger would start for your team.
My thread was whacked, I was banned, and the AJ McCarron thread remained

I appreciate the response, even if it seems a bit thin-skinned.
If I change the thread title to "LSU" will that remove the anchor?
